Walking Duration 57min
The body is walking around the exhibition building constantly. While walking, it will hold a stone and read a poem. The walking route is based on four patterns. Three are translated from a fissure on a stone, lichen on the same stone, the skin. The fourth route is one real crack on the asphalt road outside the exhibition building. Walking posture is only allowed to be at 90-degree angle for every turning point. The reading voice will be transmitted in real-time to a hanging concentrative speaker inside the exhibition building. If the walking stops, the speaker would remain silent. All outdoor happenings and the fourth route depend on the location of indoor happening.
Viewers inside need to move the stone and sit down to hear the voice clearly. They can either choose to stay inside with the installation or go outside to walk and observe the walking body.
